Nola makes Phillies history

share

Aaron Nola gave up one run in seven innings in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Mets, marking the 10th straight start in which he's allowed allowed two or fewer runs. That sets a Phillies record for consecutive starts allowing no more than two runs since 1893, when the pitching distance was set at 60 feet, six inches. Cole Hamels held the old team mark, with nine straight starts of that kind in 2011. (Elias Sports Bureau)

Aaron Nola held an opponent to two runs or fewer for his 10th straight start, Freddy Galvis had a go-ahead single during a fifth-inning rally and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the veteran-shedding New York Mets 3-1 on Saturday night.

Amed Rosario's first career homer broke a tie leading off the ninth inning, Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto also went deep and the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 on Friday night.

New York's Jacob deGrom pitched brilliantly until leaving in the seventh inning due to a contusion on his right triceps after being hit on a line drive, and the Mets homered four times in a 10-0 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night.

Hoskins to debut for Phillies

share

Top Phillies prospect Rhys Hoskins is set to make his major league debut Thursday night against the Mets, starting in left field and batting seventh. Hoskins' 29 homers, 91 RBIs and .581 slugging percentage with Triple-A Lehigh Valley led the International League.

Maikel Franco had a high ceiling, but he's been abysmal this season and likely won't be part of the next winning Phillies team.
